The death of Douglas Adams . . .
Posted May 18, 2001
Hard to belive, but true. Aged 49 he suffered a heart attack sometime last week. We'll miss you, old friend.
A great wav file site has put some clips from the audio set. I add them here for your perusal.

the end or the beginning??
Posted May 1, 2001
semms like the world is going to hell in a handbasket these days and its hard to figure out whats best to do about it. Im speaking mainly of american politics, but then of course the same can be said for everything else in this world. Do the 'good' really outwiegh the 'bad'? seems like every where i see overweight couples with four kids and a minivan. tangible evidence of evil in the world, if you ask me. dont they realize that humans have strained the resources of this very small globe as it is? I see the human race in a few thousand years speaking in riddles of the myth of america and an organization called the EEC and wondering if thats when the end began. poisons in the air, toxins in the sea, salt in the very womb of the earth. we will have strained the limits of our own technological and sociological wonders and start dying off in mass extinction taking along enough species of plant and animal to make the dinosaur event look like a birthday party. did you know the world's population of frogs is already in serious decline. it's said that this forbodes a climate change of staggering proportion - the litmus of world changes which we can not turn back; can not avoid. it is the beggining of the end, my friend, and i wonder if humans can survive. we started out roughly 20,000 years ago as a small colony of humanid evolutionary freaks in a remote corner of africa and now we number 6+ billion. we cover the face of the earth like a viral infection.
the americans have put a man in charge who in his first one hundred days has already backed out of every promise, turned over on every word. his ties to big business; oil, mining, lumber, electric, and special interests are now supremely evident. not bad for the former owner of a major sports franchise. He must really be raking in the dough now. I hope the rest of us will be able to survive. arsenic in our water, plutonium and CFB's in our soil, ashes in the air like the dirge of war.
i think i need an aspirin and a nap . . .
